Obama says information is a distraction?

Last weekend, President Obama gave the commencement speech at Hampton University in Virginia. In that speech is the now infamous ipod quote, "You are coming of age in a 24-7 media environment that bombards us with all kinds of content and exposes us to to all kinds of arguments, some of which don't rank that high on the truth meter. And with iPods and iPads, X-boxes and Play Stations; none of which I know how to work. Information becomes a distraction, a diversion, a form of entertainment rather than a tool of empowerment, rather than a means of emancipation." (video here)

The media tried to laugh this off as the president being funny and technology challenged. Since when is information a distraction? Information is POWER! And that is why the president and his minions in the liberal media have been in an all out assault on Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Sean, Hannity, Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, and the Tea Party.

The president and the left understand the threat that Fox News, talk radio, and the Internet present to their hostile takeover of America.

The president has now created his own White House media that has been the only outlet to interview supreme court nominee, Elana Kagan. Why hasn't anyone else been able to interview her? So they can control the information and therefore the power. Where does that rate on the truth meter Mr. President?

We're beginning to see some dissension in the ranks. There have been a few in the liberal media who are beginning to question the new white house media. Why, because they aren't getting an opportunity to interview Kagan? More likely it's that they're being excluded from the inner circle and losing their power. But would they really ask the tough questions? Of course not; because they are nothing more than a propaganda tool for Obama... When he needs them.

What's even more troubling is that they are excluding the media even further as evidenced by the new White House Video Blog. Here you will find all kinds of video that the media has been excluded from. I thought this was going to be the most transparent administration in history?

More like opaque. The president and his administration have become quite adept at saying one thing while doing something else entirely. What will be interesting to watch is whether or not the media will start doing there job. I doubt it.

See you in the trenches,
